What would the paper say?
UK sighting reports were handled by the MoD's UFO desk until 2009; later records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, earlier files sit at the National Archives. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included.

Explosion in the sky, but with no sound. It looked like a rocket. Was very large and had a blue and red light.

Very bright lights. A sequence of four lights, three lit at any one time. They were orange. Slowly moving in a straight line.
